Who said the desert is hot? Whoever said that has not been to Las Vegas in January. It has been the weirdest weather ever in the Southwest. We have had hard freeze warnings the past 5 nights & one morning we woke up to icicles hanging from the bottom of the windows.

It is supposed to warm up to low 60's by the weekend, but whoo hoo has it been cold!

We will hang around here for another 5 - 6 weeks before taking our time heading back to Oregon. Scrapbook Fun Fest is looming ahead & we will getting into gear in the next few months.

Missing the coast a whole lot! Getting restless to move on over & explore.

We were able to meet up with my BIL at the Wynn for breakfast last week. He looked great & it was fun to catch up.

Our friend was able to buy his dream house here in Las Vegas & sell his house in Sacramento in less than 24 hours for more than he was asking. We will be helping him get all his stuff down here. Fun times & busy times a'coming.

Went to Senior Tuesday movie day last week at Sam's Town & saw "Lincoln". It really was amazing although Rod fell asleep during some of the longer oratories.

Heading out to a new area near here next week. More on that!

I have been posting photos on Rod's facebook page. Didn't get a photo of it, but we went to "Amore Taste of Chicago" for Chicago style pizza last night. It was amazing! Definitely going back to try some of the other items they have.

Yep, it's been an awful long time since I have blogged here. Between packing & storing & choosing & leaving & travelling it has been a very busy time.

I have crafted & Cricutted very little since we started this journey. I have a lot of my "stuff" with me & I have added as we have visited different cities. Discovered Hobby Lobby & it is my new favorite craft store.

I did knit scarves - 7 - for Christmas presents so that kept me a little occupied. I did take a few classes:

Stained Glass - I took this with my husband. He made a star & I made a candy cane. It was fun crafting with him.

Card class - made 4 real cute cards in Pahrump, NV. When we go back for a month I will definitely take some more.

With the New Year it is time to get geared up for Scrapbook Fun Fest which is May 25. It seems far off, but I have a lot to prepare like a class for 20. I have some ideas rolling around that I can't wait to get started on.

We won't be back in Oregon until May 1, but I also want to teach 3 Cricut classes while I am there & before we start our Northern trek through Oregon & Washington & then down through Idaho & back to Nevada.

So hang in there with me & I will be back to creating very, very soon. I am so ready.

Back, but I hope not forgotten...

We have been full-time Rving for almost 3 years. Lo and behold, when we really weren't looking, we found our dream house on the Oregon Coast. I have a craft room again & everything is labelled & placed so I can go anytime & create to my heart's content.
